WINDSOR — The public is invited to a free poetry slam competition involving 5th grade students at Cloever Stree School Monday, from 6 to 8 p.m. at 57 Clover St.

The school's participating students will be vying for the honor of being named the most dramatic poet by a panel of judges that includes Jody Lefkowitz of Windsor Public Schools central office administration, and Windsor Education Foundation members Ruth Jefferis and Maureen Parker. Prizes will be awarded to the top three poets.

The annual poetry slam is part of the school's Challenge Resource program, which features several visiting artists-in-residence. The program supports Windsor Public Schools literacy curriculum and other district goals related to citizenship, bullying and public speaking.

For information about the poetry slam, call Lisa Thomas at 860-687-2050, Ext. 120.
